Special Programs
Accelerated Master’s Degree Program
The accelerated master’s degree program allows Arts & Sciences day students to count their graduate-level course work (completed as an undergraduate) toward a master’s degree.
ACTRAC program
By completing additional course work prescribed by the instructor, students earn 4 credits for each ACTRAC course rather than the usual 3 credits. By taking ACTRAC courses, students can reduce the total number of courses they must take before they graduate.
